England trounced India by 10 wickets at the Adelaide Oval.

India suffered an embarrassing exit from the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 as they were trounced by England by 10 wickets in the semi-final at the Adelaide Oval Thursday. India’s ignominious defeat as they failed to take a single wicket crushed the dreams of millions of fans who were anticipating a dream final against arch-rivals Pakistan.

England won the toss and decided to bowl first in the crucial encounter. Hardik Pandya and Virat Kohli smashed 50s to take India to 168/6 in 20 overs. However, India’s bowlers had an off-day as the England openers, captain Jos Buttler and Alex Hales, made 80 and 86 runs respectively for an unbeaten 170-run opening stand to take the team through. They chased the target in only 16 overs.
